Name: Typha domingensis Western Marsh
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This wetland association is widespread across the southwestern United States and Great Basin. The vegetation is characterized by a dense, 2- to 4-m tall herbaceous layer of <i>Typha domingensis</i> that dominates the site as a monoculture or codominates with <i>Schoenoplectus acutus</i> or species of <i>Carex</i>. Additional associated graminoid species include <i>Carex nebrascensis, Eleocharis palustris, Eleocharis macrostachya, Juncus arcticus ssp. littoralis, Bolboschoenus maritimus, Schoenoplectus pungens</i>, and under drier conditions <i>Hordeum jubatum</i> and <i>Distichlis spicata</i> may be present. During extended inundation, aquatic plant such as <i>Stuckenia pectinata</i> may flourish. Other forbs such as <i>Euthamia occidentalis, Polygonum lapathifolium, Chenopodium</i> spp., and <i>Sagittaria</i> spp. may also be present. These marshes occur in bottomlands along drainages, in river floodplain depressions, oxbow lakes, and below seeps. Substrates are variable but are generally fine-textured, alkaline, alluvial soil. Flood regimes range from seasonal inundation with the soils drying out and cracking in late summer to permanently flooded marshes.
